Notepad++ Review
Overall Satisfaction with Notepad++
We use Notepad++ to read code from packages we create in SQL developer. PL/SQL and scripting code is easily readable from Notepad++. We can make modifications to code and verify before importing it back into our database development environment. Notepad++ has useful features including color schemes for different languages and capabilities to same in small sized files.
Pros
- Notepad++ makes it easy to read code copied from company software such as SQL Developer and WinSCP.
- Notepad++ has a lot of functionality and tools, from being able to search and replace to customizing text. On top of that, the software takes a minor amount of storage.
- Notepad++ has a language option, where you can pick which language you are coding it, and it color codes and saves the file in that language.
Cons
- Notepad++ could add functionality to detect the coding language automatically. Other than that, everything I need to do is available with Notepad++.
- This software has mainly a positive impact in the time it saves. This increase productivity certainly promotes a higher ROI.
- Notepad++ helps in noticing small bugs in code and picking pieces up to read in blocks. This leads to less CRs down the road.
- I do not see any negative ROI from this product.
Although not in the listing, WordPad is another product used in our company. It does not have as easy of a UI as Notepad++ does. Functionality is also limited. Compared to Evernote, Notepad++ is cheaper, takes up less disk space, and has all the functionalities a developer would need. It is simple to use.
